The Historian and Believer Synopsis

A milestone work in Christian         theology--available again!       "As a critic of the contemporary         theological scene, Van Harvey has few, if any, competitors. This is nowhere         clearer than in The Historian and the Believer . . . the classic         discussion of its topic. Rich in insight and penetrating in argument,         it is one book that belongs in the library of every theologian and seminarian."         -- Schubert M. Ogden, author of Doing Theology Today       Is it possible to be both         a historian and a Christian? Van Harvey's classic The Historian and         the Believer posed that question when it was first published.       In this printing, the author         has provided a new introduction in which he reflects on how he would reframe         his original argument in order to bring out more fully the basic theological         intention underlying his view that Christian faith cannot rest on dubious         historical claims.       From reviews of the first         edition:       "Probably the most interesting         piece of American theological writing to appear this year." -- John         Reumann, Union Seminary Quarterly Review
